Good news ahead for the Smart Grid market, says one of its top experts. Chuck Newton is one of the industry's most experienced and respected market researchers. One reason: He goes right to the source for his predictions. He interviews utilities around the world about their buying plans, then cross-correlates their responses with economic news and energy statistics. When we heard his latest survey was about to come out, we asked him to write up a quick summary of the high points, exclusive to SGN readers. Overall, it is good news, even though the market has a ways to go to overcome the slump of 2009. |

A wide-ranging study by the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory says yes, it is possible to have 20% of the country's electricity come from wind by 2024. It also says no, it won't be cheap — or easy. The big "if" is transmission. |

Dramatic increases in wind energy production in an Illinois county are quickly pushing the area's aging electricity transmission network to the max — and to the brink of failure. Local leaders and utility officials agree there's no "if" in the equation — it's a matter of how soon. |

A report submitted to a New Mexico interim legislative committee said the state has the potential to produce staggering amounts of renewable wind, solar and geothermal energy—but doesn't have nearly enough transmission capacity to accommodate it. |

With approval from the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC), Southern California Edison (SCE) is a step closer to building a 170-mile, $537 million transmission system to send solar and possibly other renewable energy from Riverside County to the southern part of the state. |

Engineering firm SAIC will soon release software able to predict grid failures days, weeks and even months before they happen. Reliability center maintenance (RCM) has been catching on in other industries, but has yet to gain traction in the electric power sector despite attempts by several startups. |

The U.S. loses roughly 300 billion kWh of power from transmission and distribution line loss. A collaboration between EPRI, FERC, system operators and utilities are working to fix that problem and save power. |

American Electric Power (AEP) and Exelon plan to make heavy investments in independent transmission subsidiaries to cash in on opportunities for growth—and good-looking returns on their investments. |
|

Utility behemoth Hydro-Quebec will pay $4.4 billion (U.S.) for most of the assets of New Brunswick Power, including transmission lines, to get more access to U.S. electricity markets in the northeast. The deal has been criticized as a monopoly on both sides of the border. |

The state of Texas is the country's top wind energy producer, but its transmission infrastructure can only handle about half of the available capacity. |
|
| |
The DOE's Western Area Power Administration and Toronto-based Tonbridge Power Inc. have agreed to finance a proposed 214-mile transmission line that will carry power generated by the region’s growing wind industry. |
